PULMONARY PATHOLOGY OF OXYGEN TOXICITY: PART I. ELECTRON MICROSCOPIC AND MORPHOMETRIC STUDY OF RAT LUNGS EXPOSED TO 98.5% O2 AT ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE.
Abstract
Rats were exposed to pure oxygen at 1 atm. The lungs were investigated by electron microscopy using morphometric methods. First damage occurred during the second day and progressed. Capillary blood volume decreased; air-blood barrier increased in thickness. The degree of impairment of pulmonary function was calculated. (Author)
